I worked in a video game store for 2 Black Fridays durring college.  I swore I would never do it again....and that's a promise I don't intend to break....ever.  if you ever feel the need to hate everyone everywhere....work a game store on that day.  you will hate yourself for being the same species of some of these creatures. About 90% of the people you see are like sheep, follow the person in front of them and wrok throught the assemply line...but that 10% that doesn't conform are the real head ach generators. We even came up with nicknames for the different trouble makers

here are some examples

1. the Worship Me - the person who spends slightly more than the person in front of them and demands special treatment and extra discounts because of it.

2. the Clueless- doesn't know what they want but will get in line at the register and try to chew the check out persons ear off to find out "what the kids like these days"

3. the bargan fighter- a person finds the one item that is not discounted who demands it  for a discount because it's black Friday

4. the bargan hunter- the person who picks up an item, gets in line, then starts calling other stores to try to find it cheaper before they have to check-out

5. the poacher- someone who uses Black Friday as the day to call your store and ask 50 useless questions about an item that they found at another store for cheaper. 

6. the non-believer - the person who comes to your store and asks for the most indemand item of the year at 7:00pm, and throws a fit and demands to take a look at your stock room when you tell them you don't have any more(or worse yet, your store doesn't carry it).
 

7. the split payer-  you all know this one....I would like to pay $20 in cash, $12.25 on debit, $26.50 on this credit card, $8 on a gift card, and the remainder on a Gas Card or some other type of card that you can't accept.

8. the ultra clueless - the person who picke up $1200.00 in game systems and games only to stop at the door and ask you if you think a PS3, all the Grand Theft auto games, Man Hunt, 50 cent, and Leisure Suit Larry would give their 5 year old and 7 year old a hard time with learning the controlls.

Auto out-

We make a family event out of slaying Christmas trees on my cousin’s farm on black Friday. Considerably more pleasant than being at Kohl’s at 4am. I’m constantly amazed in coffee shops by “the clueless” who seem to be prevalent in that environment year round. I don’t understand how after almost 10 minutes in line, the first thing out of their mouths after being asked “may I help you” is, “Hmmmm, what should I have today??” as they look up at the menu board apparently for the very first time. If only they’d look over their shoulder to see the under caffeinated coffee junkie shaking uncontrollably behind them . . . .
